A built-in magnet keeps the Artisan Case connected to the wallet in the Doc Artisan Wallet Case for the iPhone 6. The real winner is the thick leather used in the case and wallet portion - you will start to develop your own design on the leather as you take it with you through your journeys.

The wallet portion doesn't have a camera cutout unfortunately, so you will have to detach the case to capture the moment, which may mean missing it.

It is a wonderful case. I have reviewed a number of Doc Artisan's products and have always been very impressed. One note--if you like the Doc Artisan cases and you don't want to have to detach the phone case from the wallet to take pictures, you might consider the Sport Wallet instead--it has a cutout for the camera in the wallet section.

I got the sport wallet and I love it. Although, my back case for the phone had a big scratch on it so I'm hoping I can get a replacement back cover. Besides that it's my favorite case ever!

Is this case heavier than the apple leather case? I figure its got a magnet inside, might make it heavy. I'm thinking of getting either this or the Saddle brown one from Apple but not sure which is better

Yes it's heavier. It's extremely nice though and high quality leather. I love how it attaches to the wallet part.

It's probably heavier (I don't have the Apple on hand) but it's definitely much much much better leather. The Apple leather case is almost a plasticky feel, whereas this uses genuine leather, you can see the marks on the leather grow over time on mine as well (pictures posted soon), and the wallet portion is a definite plus.

Yea. From what I've seen of the 6s Leather case, it looks more like the cheap PU stuff you find on aliexpress. Do you know if Edge to Edge glass protectors work with the Wallet case?

Imos Solid EX 3D works with it, as does Cinder.

You should let the folks at Doc Artisan know--I'm sure they'd be thrilled to hear it:)

There's also a new version of the sport wallet case on pre-order, which has a magnetic clasp...
 
Between the Wallet Case and the Sport Wallet Case, does the Sport version add much more bulk, it looks quite a bit thicker in the pics

It may be very slightly thicker, but not much. The added stand function and camera capability are nice trade offs, though. The new version with the magnet clasp does look thicker in the pics I've seen, however.

Thanks for the info, I think I will get the sport version.
 
I just assume that people with these types of cases don't mount their phones when they drive?
